Sonic is still fast food junk. As for the snide beer comment, you can take your brandy snifting, polo playing, blue blood bourgeois ass back to Greenwich. Beer is beautiful and refined as much as it is delicious. A beer hick blast is as relevant as SD talking quarterbacks or Mother talking Belgian X-mas ales. LACK OF PERSPECTIVE.

Tots are for kids. Name one respectable restaurant where tots are an option with your sammich or steak. End of story.

Vinegar on french fries is outstanding. As are sweet potatoes in any form.

If you like fried bologna, you gotta try the fried bologna sammich at the Buckeye Beer Engine in Lakewood. If you like chicken and waffles, they are a menu specialty at the new Deagan's on Detroit in Lakewood. Off the charts good.

This is a guy who should have the respect of all of us.

Rich/Peek, do I ever get a moniker under my avatar? Haven't posted nearly as much as others, but If I could, it should probably be beer/food related. I know those much more than the intricacies of sport.

90% of every good burger joint in Chicago. And every pub with in a square mile of where I lived.

There early next month in the downtown sweet spot. Is Billy Goats the truth or should I head elsewhere in walking distance?

Downtown that is probably where you want to head. If you feel like getting out of the immediate downtown and I have many more suggestions. If you are feeling pizza downtown give Pizano's a shot. 1a and 1b with Malnatis.

Plus like anyone would actually go with FMB anywhere... The guy is so friendly he doesn't even take the 3 seconds his MEGA MAN PLOW would take to clear his neigbors driveway.

TCF the arbitor of Haute Cuisine???

Not even Blue Point Grill or Johnny's?

Clevelanders eats mostly crap....ie: like putting fires on sandwiches

Hell, look at FUDU...he actually eats at Chipotles

As unfriendly as this guy is I just can't help agreeing with him 90% of the time. The other 10% I just happen to be wrong on. Johnny's uses beef base for many of its sauces instead of starting with a freshly made mirepoix beef stock.

We have to dig deeper...

On the FUDU blast.

"When a man with money meets a man with experience, the man with experience leaves with money and the man with money leaves with experience."

Sans Souci is still there. We actually did some wall repair in their a couple years ago. The "original" Johnny's is on Fulton near St. Rocco's. Today the stuff is happening at East 4th. You have Lola and Greenhouse Tavern. Also L'Albatros in University Circle would be a top choic of mine...

But, eh, I prefer comfort food with unhealthy natual ingredients in large portions. So I only frequent the above when necessary. The knowledge of these places is passed onto me from my brother who manages/cooks at one of those places...

The only times I've been to those reastaurants my wife and I were there for weekends

Couple times during the summer and about 5 New Years Eve weekends in a row..... NYE at Blue Point was $400 for 2 about 4 yrs ago

Pizza at the Power station was always good...but the fries with meat and lettuce is just disgusting

One for you

. And while the sweet potato tots at Haymarket Pub & Brewery aren’t made in-house, they’re dressed up with housemade sauces, many of which use beer. Which only further demonstrates that this stuff isn’t for kids. Except those over 21 years old.

and one for you

Nightwood was first to push the suckers into maturity with its crispy hash brown–style tots at brunch. Now, at Wave, Kristine Subido uses tots (pictured) to riff on Spain’s patatas bravas, flavoring them with fontina, caramelized onions and smoked paprika, and finishing them off with a classic romesco sauce. At David Burke’s Primehouse, Rick Gresh is getting ready to debut a lobster tater tot. But for now, he’s putting out bacon tots, using generous amounts of smoked Benton’s bacon (but not, he notes, so much that they taste like “you’re licking a smoke log”).

That's awesome dude. Nothing like paying $12-$15 bucks for kids food as a side. They put that shit in real restaurants only because yuppies with maturation disorders have the money and desire for them.
